I have tried using Timed Export to take advantage of high rates on Octopus Outgoing Agile, but it doesn't seem to work for me.

Is anyone else using this feature and making it work, if so could you please let me know how you are applying the settings?

Thanks

It works for me but its not useful.
Solar does not charge the battery when the timed export is active so I have to set timers in my phone to turn it on and off. I always set the end time in the app as you never know when the portal will die and decide to pump all your energy out to the grid.
The agile option is not great either. it will import from the grid if you don't have 50% battery to cover the peak times.
Givenergy really not add an advanced tab which allows you to have mode 1 with timed discharge and a separate discharge limit. i doubt it will come through.

It works for me after a fashion, unfortunately you cannot set a timed export within the default mode 1 eco mode, (unlike the timed charge setting) So as soon as you set the timed export mode the inverter will not work to charge from excess solar or discharge to pick up any house load. I would really like to see the timed export work concurrently with the eco mode 1, that would be really useful to me.
